Departing from KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, the Boeing 737-MAX8 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. As it reached the threshold of runway 15R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 41% of the 1,241-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 149 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 33°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 160°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 17-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile south of KIAH. Over the course of 14 minutes, the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,047 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 37,875 feet, a vertical increase of 36,828 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 136 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a 37-minute enroute level cruise, during which it covered a distance of 864 nautical miles. The cruise phase was initiated approximately 3 miles north of Barton Creek, Texas. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started approximately 4 miles southwest of KLGF Laguna Army Airfield Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona. The descent phase, which lasted 18 minutes, saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 38,006 feet to 1,589 feet, a vertical decrease of 36,417 feet, while covering a distance of 135 nautical miles.
As the Boeing 737-MAX8 entered the final approach phase, it aligned itself with runway 27 at KSAN San Diego International Airport, approaching from the east at a heading of 286.0°. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 145 knots, with a touchdown distance of 180 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was slightly higher than desired at -456 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.7 meters. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,148 nautical miles, and the aircraft utilized 2,611 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 79 minutes.

The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 27 at KSAN San Diego International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed of 147 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 180 m was also satisfactory, but the touchdown speed of 145 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a harder-than-desired touchdown rate of -456 fpm.
The aircraft's initial touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.7 m, which may have been due to the 4 kt crosswind component. However, the crew's skillful handling of the aircraft allowed for a smooth transition to the rollout phase, where the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21 °C and a 7 kt headwind, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,068 m, accounting for 46% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 97.4%. The crew's ability to maintain a stable approach and execute a smooth rollout phase was commendable, despite the slightly fast touchdown speed and hard touchdown rate.
